Every Thursday morning that Congress is in session, Lobby Corps members receive comprehensive training as well as briefings on that week’s priority. They then proceed to selected congressional offices to educate policy makers. Members make more than 1200 visits each congressional session.

Lobby Day in Richmond and in Washington, DC

In February of each year AAUW members from around Virginia meet in Richmond to talk to our state senators and delegates on key issues.

This year AAUW of Virginia will hold the annual State Lobby Day at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, February 7. To participate, contact Leslie Tourigny, AAUW of VA Public Policy Vice President, for information about overnight accommodations and agenda.

Once a year, Virginia AAUW members also travel to Capitol Hill to receive a briefing from AAUW staff followed by visits to representatives and senators.
